I think she had a really good day. She picked Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast!
Then things really started this morning with us bringing cupcakes for her to share with her preschool class:
Later on there were presents! Again, her Granny and Grumpy gave her a $100 gift certificate to Amazon.com too, and she also had a blast shopping! She got everything she wanted and all the packages came in yesterday and today, so the timing couldn't have been better.
Our family got one big gift as a combined gift for both Monkey4 and Monkey3 - a HUGE Sandbox. That came in the mail today too, but they decided it made a better coffin... LOL!
Her choice for dinner was Chinese food [yummy!].
The day ended with cake and prayers. [yeah, I know, we have tons of cake and leftover cupcakes going into the trash tonight, but it didn't seem fair not to let her have her own cake too!]
Monkey3 is a *FORCE* of personality! She is full of fire and sweetness - an odd mix that DOES sometimes burn those around her! LOL! She is extremely energetic, but LOVES to help, so if you harness that energy for good, you are set. If she decides to use that energy for evil...well, watch out world!
She's a little work horse though - she will carry her own body weight, patiently fold clothes, unload and load a dishwasher... I mean, she's a hard working little thing!
She's very, very smart and she gets frustrated when people don't let her help or assume she can't do something [betcha she CAN!]. She is a tiny little thing - she weighs less than any of the kids except the baby! She always has been a teeny little girl, but she's got such a HUGE personality that you might not even notice. She is also strong as a little Ox.
She has a contageous positive attitude most of the time and she's just so full of spunk that you have to just laugh and adore her. And she's so stinkin tough - gosh, she amazes me. If SHE cries about something, you KNOW there is something wrong - she can take the hardest knocks and not even blink. And she's brave [you may remember the bull riding post from a month or so ago.... LOL!].
Happy Birthday Monkey3! I just adore you and you have made the world a better place since the moment you arrived! I love watching you grow and learn and I know there is NOTHING in this world you can't do if you set your mind to it! Praise God for you little one!

Wow! Two birthdays so close together! Mari and Thomas will be like that. I don't mind the combo presents idea! Your girls are just getting so big and grown up looking since I first started reading your blog! It's only been such a short time but they have grown so much (in many ways). They are beautiful.
I hope they both had happy birthdays, it sure looks like they did!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Monkey 3, Happy Birthday to you! Love, hugs and prayers, one of your "virtual aunties." P.S. My kiddos have the same butterfly habitat. We are busy watching our caterpillars now. I hope you have as much fun with it as they are! God bless you and your sister on your birthdays!
Happy Birthday Monkey 3! I'm so glad she had such a great day.
Happy Birthday to your sweet girls! The pictures are precious! I hope they both had a fantastic birthday!!
